Hello, Chica’s family.

We have some absolutely pawsitive news to share that has us wagging our tails. Today, we aren’t just celebrating a win; we’re celebrating a moment of history for this awesome breed.

History was made at the 150th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, and the crown belongs to one of our own: Penny, the elegant, powerful, and regal Doberman Pinscher!

The Best in Show Moment

Under the bright lights of the world's most prestigious dog show, Penny stood out among thousands of elite dog athletes. When the judge pointed that finger and named her Best in Show, the Doberman community let out a collective cheer.

It’s a rare and beautiful thing to see a Doberman take the top spot. Penny didn't just win because of her shiny coat or her perfect "stack,” she won because she embodies everything we love about the breed:

• Intelligence: You could see the focus in her eyes; she was "on" every second.

• Grace: She moved around the ring with that effortless, powerful trot we know so well.

• Heart: Behind the champion is a dog who clearly loves her people, just like our Chica did.

Why This Matters

When a Doberman like Penny wins on the world stage, it shows the world the true nature of the breed. It chips away at the "scary" stereotypes and highlights the loyalty, trainability, and beauty of these Velcro dogs. When people fall in love with a champion like Penny, they are more likely to support Doberman rescues and see the value in saving a "diamond in the rough" who just needs a second chance.

Whether they are winning ribbons at Westminster or winning hearts on a rescue sofa, every Doberman deserves to be treated like a Best in Show winner.

Congratulations to Penny and her team! You’ve made the Doberman world so very proud.
